* Antec is probably the only company that knows how to make proper screws for their cases, so I suppose I like them, even if they don't know anything else.
* Corsair makes fine stuff and has not screwed me over much either (except the cheap end, but even then - RMA'd almost too quickly). I always recommend their products first.
* Gigabyte is at times very obviously not fine at all, but I've developed brand loyalty of sorts.
* Intel is fine. From C2D to X-25M to i5-750 to P67 recall to Ivies. Their prices aren't, but for the most part that's someone else's problem.

I like products, the company itself means nothing to me. No company has a perfect track record. Take R*. Love gta but gta 4 sucked. Love max payne, latest one sucked. Liked the first red dead, not redemption. BUT Gta 5 could be good, another max payne could be good and a 3rd red dead could be good.
